[Chicago] control bandwidth speed in urllib2?

[Feihong Hsu]

I hesitate to say it's not possible, but I don't think there's an easy way to do it. You could try looking at the Kamaelia library. I think there is a class in there that is specifically designed to limit the download/upload speed (forget what it's called though). And of course Twisted is always an option.

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody implemented or knows how to implement
bandwidth speed limit in urllib2.

I need to control how fast urls are downloaded at some consistent rate.

One solution is to sleep for x seconds until average rate is achieved,
but that causes spikes of high bandwidth/no bandwidth.  Is there a way
to make urllib2 use 5kb/s constant speed at all times.

Thanks,
Lucas
